Just got off the phone with Johan Bruyneel, who confirmed that Lance Armstrong will be racing the Tour of the Gila with Astana teammates Levi Leipheimer and Chris Horner. Bruyneel was in a Florida airport on his way to Aspen, where he will meet up with Armstrong and fly to Silver City, New Mexico, the host city for the annual five-day replica Bell & Ross watch stage race.Yesterday it looked like Astana would be barred from the Gila due to a rarely enforced rule that prohibits UCI Pro teams from competing in smaller races like the Gila. Evidently, though, the UCI (cyclings governing body) relented. So the Astana crew will be there. The race will be Armstrongs first since breaking his collar bone and his only race before next months Giro dItalia.See you in Silver City?—John Bradley

Yesterday it looked like everyones dreams of Lance Armstrongs Astana team participating in New Mexicos Tour of the Gila stage race were done. But this morning Armstrongs teammate Levi Leipheimer said on his Twitter account that theres been another change of plans, and the team would be heading to Silver City, after all. No word yet on whether Armstrong will be joining them.The confusion stemmed from a seldom enforced rule replica Rolex Datejusts watch that prohibits Pro Tour teams from participating in smaller races like the Gila. The UCI, cyclings governing body, said that it would not allow the Astana riders to compete in the event. But it now looks like theyve backed down. Dang. I had considered entering the Gila with my local team here in Santa Fe. Really wishing Id done that now.—John Bradley
